Conversion of normally gaseous material to liquified product

摘要

The inventive process and associated apparatus are ideally suited for methodology and apparatus for the small-scale liquefaction of natural gas. The current invention provides a methodology and apparatus for the liquefaction of normally gaseous material, most notably natural gas, which reduces both the number of process vessels (34, 58) required and also the associated space requirements over convention apparatus while resulting in only a slight decrease in process efficiency.
